    Personal life HAHAHAHA. Outside mommyhood all I do for myself/personal life is go on some runs solo

    I have 2 kids, a 6 and 3 year old. My husband works an insane schedule on a ship, and is gone 12-13 hours a day so I have a babysitter come to the house 2-3x a week for 2-3 hours for review. On the weekends I take PT but I am often distracted by kid noises and can't stand the disruptions of the kids coming up to the bedroom/office to ask if they can have a popsicle or watch a show or paint (they do this regardless of who is supposed to be watching them during study sessions). I find it better to deal with this than go somewhere else to study, particularly since I would've had to wear a mask and gotten anxiety about it in public before the restrictions were lifted in VA. I saw all this to say that huge improvement IS possible though, even under such circumstances, it just takes patience and time. Sometimes I'll review tips after bedtime but I can never do anything timed after 3pm, I'm just a sloth mentally then. My best practice/study sessions are very early in the morning. Bes of luck!!!

    I have a 6 & 2 year old, and it’s so hard to find the time to study, especially to do timed sections, or god forbid a whole PT! I just wanted to commiserate and say we can do this!

    Thank you for your input and for sharing your experiences. I too find it hard to juggle it all and finding quality time to study after taking care of my little ones seems hard these days!! Putting us as parents at a huge disadvantage when studying for the LSAT!! I feel so exhausted at the end of the day that all I can think of is finding comforting food and unwinding for a bit. But this being said going to law school is important to me and I know I can do it!! So for all the moms and dads out there we’ve got this!!
